Abstract

PURPOSE:To satisfactory perform the guidance of an input item, by switching a job input picture plane being displayed on a visual display device to a guidance picture plane. CONSTITUTION:In displaying the job input picture plane on a display device 11, a request for the guidance of the input item in inputting is inputted from a keyboard 12. A guidance display control means 2 reads a guidance data from a magnetic disk 14, and displays it on the device 11. An input item input control means 3 obtains the input of the input item guided in the name of a guidance picture plane in displaying on the device 11. A job picture plane re-display control means 4 re-displays the job input picture plane before displaying the guidance picture plane, and an input data in inputting. An input data display control means 5 displays the data inputted in displaying the guidance picture plane on the prescribed position of the job input picture plane corresponding to the input item. In such a manner, it is possible to satisfactorily guide the input item.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a guidance system for input items in a data input terminal system.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, as a guidance method for this type of input item, a method has been used in which guidance content is displayed in the margin of a business input screen.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The conventional input item guidance method described above uses on-screen guidance when there is not enough space on the business input screen, or when there is so much guidance that it cannot fit within the margins on the business input screen. It is physically impossible to do so.

[Means for solving problems]

The input item guidance method of the present invention provides a guidance method that solves the above-mentioned problems, and is a guidance method for a terminal system having a display device and a keyboard.

It consists of a task input screen with different input items for each task and a guidance screen corresponding to the input items, and an instruction control means for instructing the surface of the guidance screen while the task input screen is displayed on the display device, and a point in time when the instruction is given. guidance display control means for displaying a business input screen and a guidance screen corresponding to the input items on the display device; an input item input control means for receiving input items from a keyboard while the guidance screen is displayed; a business screen redisplay control means for redisplaying the business input screen before the screen is displayed and the input data that is being inputted; and a business screen redisplay control means for redisplaying the business input screen before the screen is displayed and the input data that is being input; and input data display control means for display.

[Example] The present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.
The figure is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. Guidance system] 00, instruction control means 1, guidance display control means 2, input item input control means 3, business screen redisplay control means 4, and input data display control means 5. The instruction control means 1 inputs from the keyboard 12 that the terminal operator requires guidance for the input item that is being input while the business input screen is being displayed on the display device 11 . The kaidance display control means 2 records the data being input from the keyboard 12 and the name of the business input screen being input in the temporary storage device 15, and also records the name of the business input screen currently being displayed on the display device 11 and the input being input. The input item input control means 3 determines a guidance screen name corresponding to the item number of the item, reads the corresponding guidance screen data from a file device such as the magnetic disk 14, and displays it on the display device 11.
Use the keyboard 12 to input the input item being guided by the guidance screen name displayed on the display device 1.
Get from. The business screen re-display control means 4 records the data input regarding the input items in the guidance in the temporary storage device 16, and displays the business input screen name based on the business input screen name previously recorded in the temporary storage device 15 by the guidance display control means 2. reads the corresponding business input screen data from the magnetic file device and displays it on the visual display device, and the guidance display control means 2
The input data recorded in the temporary storage device 15 during input is displayed at a predetermined position on the visual display device, and the content displayed on the visual display device before the guidance screen was displayed is restored. The input control means 5 displays the data input during the guidance screen display, which is recorded in the temporary storage device 16 by the business screen redisplay control means 4, at a predetermined position on the business input screen according to the input item.

FIGS. 2(A), 2(B), and 2(C) are diagrams showing examples of displaying the guidance method of the present invention on a visual display device. Second
Figure (A>) is an example of a business input screen being displayed on a visual display device, with the C code for input item 1 and the b code for input item 2.
The code has already been entered. Figure 2 (B) is the same as Figure 2 (
This is an example in which a C code guidance screen is displayed on a visual display device when C code guidance for input item 3 is required on the business input screen in A). Figure 2 (C)
This is an example of displaying the business input screen again after entering the C code (002〉) on the guidance screen, and the C code entered while the guidance screen was displayed is displayed in the input field of input item 3 on the business input screen. This is an example.

(Effects of the Invention) The present invention enables sufficient input by switching the business input screen displayed on the visual display device to the guidance screen when the guidance content of input items cannot be physically displayed in the margin of the business input screen. This has the effect of providing guidance on items.
